Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibition at Discovery Times Square
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: The exhibition was awesome. However, I arrived at Times Discovery Center at 3pm, was told I've been scheduled for 5.30pm entry. I got into the exhibition at around 7pm and from within the exhibition, we had to wait in line for 1 hour to see the actual scrolls. I think the organizers did not anticipate the popularity of the exhibition. The wait was painful. However, the artifacts, narrations and presentations are priceless. It's worth the wait. I just wish Viator vouchers for this event are scheduled so that we don't have to arrive at 3pm and be scheduled for entry only at 5.30pm.

New York City Twilight Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: The address of Pier 78 on the confirmation printout is not correct. For a first time visitor to NYC, I did not know how to take the "free shuttle" at the bus stops. I got lost because Pier 78 is NOT on 38th Street West. I took a cab and the driver could not find Pier 78, he insisted that the address is incomplete. I missed the cruise of Dec 24th and had a terrible Christmas Eve. Viator rescheduled the cruise for me on Dec 30th. I was able to find my way to Pier 78 on Dec 30th only because I knew by then how to get to Pier 83 for the Cruise, the vendor clearly wrote the address for Pier 83 (12th Ave and 42nd Street.) and we were told to take the public bus M42 along 42nd Street. It was strait forward. Although I enjoyed the cruise on Dec 30th, I am very upset that the address of Pier 78 isn't properly stated. I got lost, paid $10 to the cab driver for nothing and in a panic, I left my pair of leather gloves and ear muffs in the cab. I ended up in Pier 78 on Dec 24th very late, walking alone along a derserted 40th St West. The Greyhound bus drivers parked along 40th St West directed me to the pier. They said I should make my way to Pier 78 even if I am too late for the cruise. Pier 78 is surely not on 38th Street West. I later went and replaced my lost gloves and ear muffs and retired to my room early on Christmas Eve.

New York CityPass
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: I visited all 6 places. Enjoyed everything, I would recommend this to first time visitors to NYC, Great savings. However, because I traveled over the Christmas and New Year holidays, the crowds were large and lines long. This pass does not get you pass the lines in some places. So, don't be disappointed there. It's great savings if you use the 6 tickets.

My Review: I had 2 tickets to the Top of The Rock, so I went up twice on different weather conditions. Highly recommended. The sunset is beautiful. Try to catch the sunset.
